I got the same discouraging message as juanmaria, prefaced by You got one or more words wrong Did they have to write it in RED? It's grey and rainy here ... I didn't need that! Sigh Top #30136 - 05/27/01 05:08 AM Re: almost famous Bingley Carpal Tunnel Registered: 04/09/00 Posts: 3065 Loc: Jakarta Many congrats, b96. I too must just look on in envy at the proper logophiles, having been cast out to take up baseball. A question for the USn's. Are the baggy uniforms an essential part of the game?

Who says they are baggy? jimthedog Top #30138 - 05/27/01 09:53 AM Re: almost famous 3.14159 newbie Registered: 05/26/01 Posts: 36 Baggy pants? I'm a New York Yankee fan and I've only seen four active players that wear baggy pants (Thome of the Indians, Maddux of the Braves, Hernadez of the Yankees and Bartolo Colon of the Indians.) Back in the early part of last century everyone wore baggy uniforms. Some players wore baggy clothes because "it makes them look like a slugger". According to my brother it makes them look like a pile of clothes. Also away uniforms are baggier than home uniforms.

(rain makeups will add a few more).
